Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Old Dutch 38-Ounce Cast-Iron Nobility Teapot, Moss Green
Customer Review: very pleased
Summary: 4 Stars
I wasn't sure what to expect from this purchase, but I'm very pleased to say that this teapot is the best I've had yet. From the photo's I assumed the pot would be taller than it is, but its actually quite slim. You should note that the color represented in the photo is not the true color of the pot; in reality the color is a more muted green (which to me, is a good thing).
Pros:
Well made, very elegant, well balanced, cast iron keeps tea warm longer, and the interior is coated in enamel to prevent rusting. It also comes with a well made infuser.
Cons:
Cannot be used to boil water, the lid handle gets extremely hot during use. Someone mentioned wrapping a piece of electrical tape around the lid nub, I think I may have to try that.
Although the directions say not to boil water with this pot, I do put it on the stove on low or medium-low to keep my tea warm if I've made a lot. The only reason you can't boil water in this (it is cast iron after all....) is because doing so may damage the enamel layer inside the pot. Low heat shouldn't cause any problems though, so don't fear the thing blowing up if you keep it warm on the stove.
Description of Old Dutch 38-Ounce Cast-Iron Nobility Teapot, Moss Green
38 Oz. Moss Green Cast Nobility Iron TeapotOld Dutch cast-iron teapots combine traditional Japanese styling and a modern aesthetic that result in very evocative shapes. Generously sized with a capacity of 38 ounces, the Nobility teapot forms a wide, flat shape, much like an upside-down bowl, balanced by a graceful spout and arching handle. The textured surface, available in a choice of colors, takes on a weathered appearance and displays bas-relief images of bamboo and pine. Perhaps a bit heavier than many teapots, the heft and visual richness lend noble contemplation to the act of making tea.
Iron teapots traditionally used in Japan are known as tetsubin, which were used to boil water as well as brew tea. However, the Nobility teapot is meant just for brewing, not for boiling on a stovetop. Old Dutch uses a specially purified cast iron for its teapots, and coats the insides with black enamel to help prevent rusting. Unlike ceramic teapots, the heavy cast iron retains heat wonderfully and won't chip. After use, the pot is best cared for when rinsed and dried by hand before storing. A stainless-steel infusing basket that hangs from the rim is included to facilitate brewing with loose tea leaves. --Ann Bieri
